[Spacewalk-list] CentOS 8.1 Clone Channels didn't work

[Mario Heininger]

Hi Stefan,

well clonebychannel Tool ? What did you mean ?

I figured out that it is working if i avoid "channel_sync" on spacecmd 
or GUI ! Instead setup a Repository pointing to to the Base CentOS 8.1 
then add the repository to the Clone Channel.

Sync conntent with normal Repo Sync -> Still working.

So the "package" clone/ channe clone option from Spacewalk seems to miss 
something ... the only way seems to clone it via "repo sync".

Strange ... in Total it looks all not very usable for CentOS 8.

Regards Mario
